December Delights - 19 December 2015

Much love to all who expressed concern for my welfare in yesterday's post. I have come to realise it's a bit of a dodgy 'holiday tummy'. Probably too many rich foods and too many unusual dishes being sampled in the past few days. I still feel a little yuck, but it's recognisable yuck. The twinges have all but gone, and that feeling of just a gippy tummy remain. In other words, self-inflicted. I've had a cup of tea with some sugared ginger and cinammon simple syrup, and hopefully that will settle things down. I don't feel like I"m going to be ill; it's just feels heavy and bloated.

TheHubs™ and I did a bit of Christmas shopping today, and plan to do more on Monday. The mall wasn't too bad, actually - not nearly as wild as I had anticipated. I managed to get him what I believe is a good present - but the receipt is safely tucked away in case it isn't.

While shopping I heard someone call my name, and it turned out to be a friend I hadn't seen since high school. It was nice catching up and somewhat better that we didn't resort to solely discussing 'old days'. We actually talked about life as it is now. I am only in touch with a couple of people from high school, so it was nice to be able to speak as adults, not people reliving some sort of ersatz glory days of youth.

I'm hoping the old stomach calms down - I don't really feel all that great (no fever or vomiting or anything serious), but on the other hand it's just a bad gut from too much food, so I'll just have to ride it out and drink more water. I do have lots to do between now and next Thursday, so I'd dearly love to feel like doing it instead of dragging myself around.

I just saw your post from last night and I'm the somewhat worrying things has turned out to be just an annoying, if unpleasant thing. Take a couple of days of being nice to your belly. :)

Thanks, sweetie. I'm fine now. I just have to take it easy on the Christmas goodies. All that rich food at once...

I'm glad it is just an upset stomach.

Hoping things improve for you!

Thank you! I feel 100% better today. It's just too much rich Christmas food. I'm getting too old for it!

My tummy has been dodgy, but from stress I fear as well as Aunty Flow. Sigh. I really hope you feel better soon.

Yay pressies.

I'm sorry things are being so stressful for you - no one deserves that, especially around Christmas. I hope things turn around 100% for you very soon. ♥

Boo to tummy. I feel really bloated at night. I figure it's age. Yay to seeing old chums! I have so much to do... its not even funny. If you still want them, I got a small box of corks.

I think I just have to face facts I can't eat all the yummies at Christmas anymore. I have to really dial it down. I feel fine now, but yesterday was really no fun at all.

I still collect corks, and would happily take any you have! ♥

[droxy.livejournal.com]

You probably have enough corks to cover a wall... ;)

It's been way too hectic to even get online! I love all of your pics. I haven't been able to get very Christmas motivated this year, so I'm glad to see someone has. Have a very merry Christmas! And I just know that the music box from your Santa and your mixer are sitting in heaven together, looking down on you fondly. Maybe even telling the dishwasher, "Don't go toward the light." :)

See, I can't even get my shit together to comment on the right post. I wish I could say it's because I've broken out the Sangria, but alas ... Age, work, and children have addled my brain.
